The building at Dorotheergasse 11, where the Jewish Museum Vienna has been housed since 1993, has had a checkered history. The Dorotheerstift was established there in 1414 by the Augustinian Canons. In 1782 it was rented to a pawn office. In 1804 it came into the possession of August von Holzmeister and a year later of Anna Maria von Dietrichstein. Among the tenants at this time was Mozart’s widow Constanze. In 1812 the building belonged to Prince Paul Antal Esterházy de Galántha, who sold it in 1813 to Prince Alois von Kaunitz-Rietberg. In 1823 he was obliged to surrender it to his creditor, the bankinghouse Arnstein und Eskeles. Count Alexander Náko de Szent Miklos lived there as the new owner from 1827 for almost seventy years before selling it to the builders Ignaz Fleischer and Salomon Stein. In 1895 Hugo Hermann Werner Ottomar Miethke established the Galerie Miethke, an important gallery for early Austrian Modernist art. In 1936 it came into the possession of the Dorotheum. Since 1993 it has housed the Jewish Museum Vienna, which has had a second site at Judenplatz since the year 2000.
